Curious stndles in Enrlish.

One. OF the curious studies which en-
gagged the attention of an English scholar,
and the result of which he has just pub
lished, is Of the rise Of new words and
phrases in English speech The express
sion, ''is being built" which used to rouse
the ire of the late Richard Grant White,
came into use in 1869, although it is said
to date back to 1447 ''You was" now
taken as proof of illiteracy in those who
employ it, was employed by the eminent
Bentley in 1869 and was current as cor
rect form for 100 years afterward. The
records of Coldingham priory from 1440 to
1450 show how the present spelling of
"could'' came about. 1t was formerly
"cude," but changed then because of "a
false analogy with shulde and wulde Z"
Bishop Hall, in 1898, confused the old
Teutonic word ''rime' with the Greek
rhythm" and the result is the present
rhyme. "This absurd spelling," says the
writer, Sought never to be used in our
time' Shakespeare is responsible for
good deal of the new English, as it is
called. In his play of 'Love's Labor
LOST the French 'caporal'i becomes
corporal. - The law term "escheat' be-
comes Cheat which was the popular

Adam Forepaugh and the GROCER.

that he caters en- route for al the attaches
of the circus, the performers, musicians

show grounds. Once in Holyoke, Mass,
he was purchasing a quantity OF provis-
ions from a grocer, telling him to charge
them TO 'sthe steward of the Forepaugh
show" When he had completed his pur-
ehases he said: Isn't there something in
this for me?'' the remark being instigated
by the fact that the stewards Of hotels,
steamboats,, etc, are frequently bribed by
those of whom they make purchases The
grocer quietly handed him 50 bill and
then extended the account to be marked

rAE story oF A WRECK.
Death of the Talented Paul Teval-Break
Down of brilliant Brain.


While scientific men have been register
ing the perturbation of the earth, literary
people have been interested in the analy-
sis OF the wreck of a brain, that of the
talented and so long laborious Paul Feval,
who died the other day in the hospital of
the Brethren of Saint Jean de Dieu, where
so many other noble spirits have go--e to
lay their fleshy garments down. One
writer appears even to have taken mel
ancholy pleasure in analyzing the last
dread experiments to which M. Feval, at
the bidding of his physician, had subjected
himself in the hope of recovering the writ
ing and thinking power which was COM
pletely fading away from him. Poor
Paul Fevall 1t seems but yesterday; yet
It is just twenty years since he wrote that
sparkling sentence:
The pulse of Paris beats 100 to the min
ute, wat6h in hand; yet we Parisians live
20 years.
He lived twice as fast as many of his
literary contemporaries, and ten times as
fast as the old man who lived under
tree near Verona but his brain, like that
of SO many other Parisians, could not
stand the strain which it at one period
liked and reveled in. First came the
splendid, sparkling series of works, novels,
essays and polemical articles Then came
the disgust with the world, the retirement
into deep Seclusion. There was q time
when the author found consolation in the
practices of a religious order; and by and
by the complete breakdown arrived.
Nothing can he more melancholy TO any
one familiar with the history Of literary
careers than the perusal of the last pages
which NJ. Feval wrote when trying to
spur on his wornout Imagination. The
pen literally fell from his fingers, and he
would record this fact, sometimes point
ing out to his doctor the record Of such
sad and significant action as the only
achievement of the day.
A little while before his death the emf
nent romancer managed to pen these pa
thetic lines:
''But where has my mind gone? Are
there not still some remains of it some
where? How shall / set at work to disin-
ter this miserable surplus2 Am l de-
cidedly sentenced to eternal silence? My
hand viii no longer write; that which |
strive to overcome is all the more terrible
because | am really conquered for good,
and that each day | give up the struggle
beaten and by no means satisfied. 1t is
always the same old story, and feel that
] shall not come out of the struggle alive
The creative faculty, which had served to
amuse two generations, dying within the
author, caused him a slow agony, which
nothing could soften or subdue Sad is
the lot of those who amuse others in order
to gain livelihood. This recalls the
tragical little tale of the sad man who
came one evening to see q celebrated Lon
don physician, saying;
Sir, l am dying of the most horrible
melancholy
go and see Liston," was the reply
Liston being the popular comedian of the
day.
''Sir, | am Liston!'' was the response,
in heart broken and almost heart break
ing tones. s.-Paris Cor. Philadelphia Times.
